“This is a first rank Directors’ College,

with an interactive program that

assures directors learn about the

latest developments in corporate

governance and leave with practical

advice on risk and liability avoidance.

Best of all, the number of participants

is deliberately kept small in order to

encourage active participation and to

increase opportunities to learn from

fellow directors who may have personal

experiences directly relevant to the

problems being studied.”
